The short version

  • Hookdeck starts at $39/mo; NetBase Quid prices on request.
  • Only Hookdeck lists ingest and persist; only NetBase Quid lists social listening.
  • Where Hookdeck falls short: pricing meters delivered events, so fan-out multiplies the bill: one inbound event routed to four services counts as four deliveries.
  • Prices and features on this page were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Hookdeck

  • Pricing meters delivered events, so fan-out multiplies the bill: one inbound event routed to four services counts as four deliveries
  • Free-tier retention is three days, which is shorter than the time it typically takes to notice a failing integration, so the payloads needed for a replay are often already gone
  • It becomes a single point of failure in front of every third-party integration, and an outage there means every provider webhook queues or fails at once
  • The transformation layer runs JavaScript in a constrained environment, so anything that needs a database lookup or an external call has to happen downstream instead
  • For a team already running Kafka or SQS the value is mostly the console and the replay UI, which is a hard cost to justify against infrastructure they already operate

NetBase Quid

  • Nothing about pricing is published and the review sites carry no plan data either, so you cannot size a budget without entering a sales process, and reported costs put it out of reach of small and mid-sized teams
  • The two halves of the platform came from separate companies and still feel like separate products, which means the workflow from a social finding to a market-map investigation involves more manual bridging than the marketing implies
  • The network visualisations are compelling in a demo and demanding in practice; teams without an analyst who understands clustering tend to produce pretty maps they cannot defend in a meeting
  • Historical social data beyond the contracted window is typically an additional cost, so a retrospective study you did not scope at signing turns into a change order
  • The rebrand from NetBase Quid to Quid has left documentation, support material and third-party integration listings under a mixture of names, which makes finding accurate current information about the product harder than it should be

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Hookdeck: Is there a free plan?

Yes, ten thousand events a month with three-day retention and one user.

NetBase Quid: Is NetBase Quid the same as Quid?

Yes. The merged company now trades as Quid and netbasequid.com redirects to quid.com.

Hookdeck: How is usage counted?

By delivered events, so a single inbound webhook fanned out to three destinations counts as three.

NetBase Quid: Does it publish pricing?

No. Contracts are annual and quoted, and independent review sites list no plan pricing at all.

Hookdeck: Can I replay a failed webhook?

Yes, individually or in bulk from the console, with the original payload.

NetBase Quid: Is there a trial?

The site offers a two-week trial on request rather than open self-service signup.

Hookdeck: Does it work for outbound webhooks too?

Yes, the same queueing, retry and observability applies to webhooks you send.

NetBase Quid: Is this a replacement for a social listening tool?

It can be, but you would be paying for the market intelligence half as well. If you only need social monitoring, cheaper tools cover it.
